Hi
I have found a market for peoples dogs in pyrography. See attached as examples.
They have been really well received.

Very, very well done. I hope it becomes a well paid occupation.
Once the word gets around about your work, you're going to be in big trouble!!!!

A long time ago, I took my first wood carving lessons from a full-time
professional carver. His main strength was carved relief portraits of
people's dogs and cats. And, like you, he is dang good at it.
Last I heard, he won't even answer the phone as he's got
a 2 year backlog of commissions.

Wow now that is really something special.

I have had a go at my first portrait of Slim Dusty as well. Another Commission.

It is a start.

As for me I am paying for my own tools. I have thought that I might convince my wife to purchase tools for me but somehow I don't think it is purposed to work out this way.

Hi Frank

Cheers

thanks for the info Paul. The reason I asked is that my wife has recently taken up pyrography, I have absolutely not talent in that area. I will have to buy her a sheet of hoop pine for Christmas. Cheers Frank.

[pwjupp]

It will cost you about $140. Bunni gs can order it in.

They are really nice. where do you sell them or is it by commission?

Guys,
don,t buy from the big green shed, look around for a plywood supplier in your area , I buy my plywood for $55.00 a sheet, bc grade , AB slightly dearer.
Although I find that 12mm is good , and BC is $40.00 a sheet.

you just have to pick the better laminate , clear of large colour variations.
